They over booked our room. Didn't tell us at all till we got there. So after a 5 hour drive, we had to drive around and find a last minute hotel. The house proprietor only informed us that the room and all other rooms were taken after calling multiple time and leaving a voice mail. Then told us to cancel the listing which would void the refund and didn't response when asked about it.
Disorganized and Unprofessional. Made this reservation 2 weeks in advance. Arrived over an hour after check in time. Was told that they over booked and had to make sure no one was in my room. Said that they didnt know I was coming untill I called for door code. Asked I wait 15 minutes till they arrived, ended up being 30. Talked to Expedia hoping to get a refund and go somewhere else. Expedia customer service responded "I should just wait". Finally made it into room smelled of cigarettes and the hosts seemed mad at me. Wanting to go get some dinner i asked to be texted door code. Host said okay with attitude, then slamming door stomping upstairs. I waited 15 or so minutes for a text with door code so I could get my stuff and not get locked out. Hungry and tired I walked out to my car and instead drove away. Code never came, however I did recieve a couple calls and texts during driving from host asking if I was going to stay since I left room door open. Host said he's gonna let Expedia know. Please do, Expirence so bad that your guest ran from the property. Will NOT be using Expedia again after this.
I got to the place and I was trying to find my room. Naked people having sex in “my room” rapidly left and got in the bathroom. I called the number and requested my money back. I was told that it was ok and I could send a report to Expedia. That it wasn’t the first time. They laughed at the matter instead of canceling my stay. Horrible place. Stinky, smelled really bad.
I paid in advance and when we got there we were told by an exceptionally rude woman that she had double booked the room and we wouldn't be able to stay there. She then lied by saying she would phone Expedia and arrange alternative accommodation, this didn't happen. I see with the more recent reviews this is becoming quite a habit for this place, it looks like it's a scale to me. Luckily Expedia were very good and refunded us very quickly.

I experienced the same as a few other reviewers mentioned - I didn’t receive any check-in instructions via email and the property didn’t answer the phone or return my voicemail. Expedia was also unable to reach them. After some wasted time waiting outside, I went somewhere else. This place might be okay if booking 2 days in advance, maybe they need more time to send the check-in email but they’re not responsive at all by phone if there are any issues.
We worried about the safety of our car out on the street, and looking back, the advertisements didn't represent the true nature of the site. We left a night early as we didn't like the air quality or sharing the 1 bathroom.
The homeowners are absolute beauties! Super hospitable and kind. The homestay is clean, smells good, and is really nicely decorated. My room was clean and tidy, the sheets smelt like fresh laundry and the bed was super comfy. Good walking distance from a lot of cute shops, pub/restaurants, and fast food.
I came for a show in seattle and there was adequate transit to get to and from the show. I would highly recommend this place if you need somewhere to stay in Tacoma. For the price and the experience its definitely worth it!
On the road, after a 14 hour day, I stayed at the Tacoma Homestay. Clean, comfortable, and most importantly, peace and quiet. I was not disturbed by other guests nor the sound of traffic. Got a great night's sleep and left early. Did not take advantage of breakfast.
Room was roomy and comfortable. The bed was great! Bathroom was shared, but clean. The only drawback was the smell of cigarette smoke, specially in the bathroom.
